The inductive Kplus sensors have one standardised sensing range for all types of metal. While conventional sensors reduce the sensing range significantly with different metals, the Kplus sensors even have a constant sensing range for the detection of aluminium. Their compact dimensions mean that the units will fit even where space is at a premium. The electromagnetic field immune sensor technology prevents incorrect switching.
Moreover, the powerful Kplus models are immune to electromagnetic fields thanks to the new sensor technology. They operate with absolute reliability even right next to electric brakes. The wide temperature range of -40…85 °C allows universal use, and the high protection rating IP 68 / 69K ensures constant reliability. The resistant sleeve of the stainless steel version is reliable for use in oil and coolant applications. To put it in a nutshell, factory automation has been waiting for these new inductive sensors for quite some time.
